Brief summary

1. Eligible participants were assessed prior to anesthesia. After the patient is admitted to the hospital, the subject's consent form is explained, and the consent form must be signed before the operation. 2. This is a two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial.In the preoperative waiting area, the patients are randomly assigned and divided into two groups according to the allocation sequence table (corresponding to 1:1 randomization) generated by the computer. The propofol group was both induced and maintained at an effect-site concentration (Ce) of 2.0-4.0 mcg/mL by a target-controlled infusion (TCI) system. The sevoflurane group was maintained via sevoflurane vaporizer between 1% and 3% (target minimum alveolar concentration of 0.7-1.3). During the operation, the dose of anesthetic drugs (propofol/fentanyl /remifentanil and sevoflurane/cisatracurium/rocuronium) are adjusted to maintain the mean arterial pressure and heartbeat fluctuations within 20% of the baseline value and Entropy (or BIS) value at 40-60in both groups. The following patient data were recorded, the type of anesthesia, sex, age at the time of surgery, preoperative Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score and functional capacity, the postoperative complications within 30 days (according Clavien-Dindo classification), ASA physical status scores, tumor marker ,tumor size, intraoperative blood loss/transfusion, duration of surgery, duration of anesthesia, total opioid (remifentanil/fentanyl) use, postoperative radiation therapy, postoperative chemotherapy, postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the presence of disease progression, and 6-month, 1-year, 3-year and 5-year overall survival and Karnofsky performance status score were recorded.

Detailed description

During the operation, the dose of anesthetic drugs (propofol/ fentanyl /remifentanil and sevoflurane/ cisatracurium/ rocuronium) are adjusted to maintain the mean arterial pressure and heartbeat fluctuations within 20% of the baseline value and Entropy (or BIS) value at 40-60in both groups. The following patient data were recorded, the type of anesthesia, age at the time of surgery, preoperative Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score and functional capacity, the postoperative complications within 30 days (according Clavien-Dindo classification), ASA physical status scoress, tumor marker , tumor size, intraoperative blood loss/transfusion, duration of surgery, duration of anesthesia, total opioid (remifentanil/ fentanyl/ propofol) use, postoperative radiation therapy, postoperative chemotherapy, postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the presence of disease progression, and 6-month, 1-year, and 3-year overall survival and Karnofsky performance status score were recorded.

Interventions

DRUGPropofol

The propofol group was both induced and maintained at an effect-site concentration (Ce) of 2.0-4.0 mcg/mL by a target-controlled infusion (TCI) system.

DRUGSevoflurane

The sevoflurane group was maintained via sevoflurane vaporizer between 1% and 3% (target minimum alveolar concentration of 0.7-1.3 MAC)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survivalFrom the date of surgery until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months6-month overall survival, 1-year overall survival, and 3-year overall survival
The presence of disease progressionFrom the date of surgery until the date of first documented progression (recurrence or metastasis),assessed up to 36 monthsFrom the date of surgery until the date of first documented progression (recurrence or metastasis) or date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Karnofsky performance status scorepostoperation 6 months, postoperation 12 months,postoperation 36 months.Karnofsky performance score, from 100 to 0, where 100 is perfect health and 0 is death. The lower the Karnofsky performance score, the worse the likelihood of survival.
Postoperative complicationsThe period from the day of surgery to postoperative 30 daysClavien-Dindo classification, and other postoperative complications
Length of hospital staysfrom the day of surgery to dischage, assessed up to 30 daysthe length of stays in general ward and ICU
